Bilstein B4's are best budget option.... then you can spend more and get more refined units...

Oettinger used Sachs Super Touring shocks I believe, back in the day. Getting hold of Koni's for lowered suspension might difficult without buying  H&R cup kit. Lowered Koni's are marked SP25. Bilstein B4s work great at normal/legal speeds with small drops in my own experience. Baxter will probably have best advice !

Avo`s front, B4s rear, -50mm avo springs, used to have B4s all round which were pretty good all rounders, but the weight of the camper and the lanes killed the passenger one a couple of months ago, went for the avo shortened adjustable ones to match the springs and have not been disappointed, expensive but great control over front end, adjusted about half way, not sure they would fit the -30mm springs? best check 1st, if your not heavy then B4s will do the job admirably and a reasonable price, rear end of van is still totally planted on B4s.
